Judge Klaus Grabinski

The most senior judge at the the UPC’s Court of Appeal, playing a crucial role in the harmonisation of UPC case law.

The Court of Appeal has already handed down more than 25 orders/decisions despite the fact that no full, on-the-merits decision has yet been handed down by the UPC court of first instance. Prior to being appointed to his current position, Grabinski served as a judge at Germany’s highest court, the Federal Court of Justice. Before that, he was a long-serving judge on the bench at both the Dusseldorf Regional Court and Dusseldorf Higher Regional Court– two of Europe’s most important courts for patent infringement disputes.
